BTW which one is the "gong" sound? Probably #13 ? Having started with compuserve on a teletype-like device that used paper rolls and an acoustic-coupler 300baud modem, it's humorous to me to watch people learn about this like brand new history in 2021. (but wow it's weird to be that old, just plain weird, I don't feel that old, just have these weird old experiences/memories) I remember when 1200baud came out, it just blew our minds. Then the battle for 2400bps and 9600bps "standards" hayes vs USR, etc. Then thousands of jobs were made (and eventually lost two decades later) just having to support 33/56k modems at places like AOL. Just non-stop tech support calls, phone lines were just not made for that.
